Bill Frisell's latest disc, Guitar in the Space Age, has not landed easily on some listeners. As David Graham at The Atlantic reports, the function of the album departs from being "complicated enough" and, instead, stays a little more stationary.

Rehashing some old hits that Frisell recounts from his childhood or as "naive melodies" the LP does not seem to deliver, according to some. But talking about himself and where he has come, Frisell was quoted saying, "As I get older, I'm becoming more and more comfortable with the idea of playing something that was a part of my life."

He continued, "Some naive melody or childhood memory that I once would have thought wasn't complicated enough."
